i was wondering because he seems to be mixing some brackish fish with freshwater ones. the bumblebee goby is definitely brackish...he wont do to well if your tankis completely freshwater and your other ones wont do to well if you make it brackish....hmmm.

I use completely freshwater R/O. I bought a bumblee goby more for a test. I've had him for 6 months now and he's stay colorful.

I don't think it is. I am quite sure it is freshwater. I am sure you asking because of the addition of the coral. But the coral is not alive in the tank

The coral, rock, or fossil(who knows) actually came out of a creek in Indiana in the middle of nowhere. I was probably about 12 yrs old and stumble acrossed it and kept it since. Its kinda shaped like a big clam and the bottom doesn't pertrude like the top, it smoother and dark greyish. I wish I could find out what it really is, but where do you start. Anyway if anyone knows or thinks they know of what it could be let me know

Wow that is really cool Maybe some people over in the Indiana Forum could help you out if you provide a picture?

So far Iíve found out that Indiana use to be a inland sea millions of years ago. I going to take it to a local university this week to see what they say. That would be crazy if it is actually that old.

I may be totally off base, but as a kid I spent many a day in the creeks(or cricks...depending on what part of the world you're from) and rock piles here in TN and I found pieces like that here too. Its fossilized coral. I have no idea its effect upon aquarium water, but your tank looks good. I was big into dinosaurs and fossils as a kid, still love to see the newly discovered bones of the past. Ben...ps-let me know if I'm wrong about the fossil.
